increasing police presence throughout the day, both inside and outside the high school. grief counselors will be available for all of the students, but still many parents are saying that they are not planning on sending their kids to school today for fear of possible more gang retaliation. now this started last friday when a 15-year-old student, miguel hernandez was stabbed to death while walking home from osbourn high school. police say it was not a random attack. they say he was specifically targeted. an 18-year-old and 17-year-old have been arrested. they've also been charged with gang participation and murder. then on seat a second stabbing, this time at the grant avenue shopping center. the victim survived, but police say the two stabbings are likely connected. now many teachers, parents and students say the fear is that the violence will continue today. here's what manassas city manager said. >> i'm not sure we can avoid

retaliation, but we can be prepared for anything that may happen at the school. we don't anticipate one. >> reporter: just to give you an idea of how real the fear is, at the same time a fellow 9news reporter was interviewing witnesses sunday about that murder. those witnesses received a very threatening text. now, on the surface the picture might seem innocent, but those who received it, say that elmo , the elmo that's draped in ms-13 gang colors is actually a threat to their life. so needless to say that interview was cut very short. but it just goes to show you that the fear here is indeed very real and it will be interesting to see exactly how many parents decide not to send their kids to school here today. back to you, mike and andrea. >> before you go, i know in the past few years, fairfax county has been very aggressive in targeting schools to keep gangs out of school. does this means there is a resurgence in northern virginia? >> reporter: well, police say they are seeing a little of a

resurgence. they believe that these two stabbings are likely related to two rival hispanic gangs in the northern virginia area. now, over the past few months they've seen gang activity increase, but it really started to spill into the manassas area over the summer where we saw a few stabbings, actually a few machete attacks over the summer, but what happened on friday, that stabbing was turned into a homicide. it was a fatal stabbing. that was the very first hop side in quite some time -- homicide in quite some time that the gang violent was connected to a murder. thank you, kristin. it's four after the hour. while you slept another successful mine rescue. >> this one in china. 22 coal miners and seven rescuers were hoisted to safety this morning. they became trapped more than a day earlier when that mine shaft they were in suddenly flooded. the first team of rescuers who reach them also became trapped.
